Q:
What is the life expectancy of a patient with Marfan syndrome?
A:
As early as the 1970s, the life expectancy of a person with Marfan syndrome was two-thirds that of a person without the disease.
However, with improvements in recognition and treatment, people with Marfan syndrome now have a life expectancy similar to that of the average person.
This disease may not have cure but it does not stop a person from living life to the fullest extent with proper medical care and timely checkups.
